WHAT IS TRAINAIR PLUS?
WHO CAN JOIN THE TRAINAIR PLUS PROGRAMME?
WHY TRAINAIR PLUS?
HOW DOES TRAINAIR PLUS ACCOMPLISH ITS MISSION?
2TRAINAIR PLUS is a cooperative network of training organizations and industry partners working together to develop and deliver ICAO-harmonized training packages.
These packages include:
STP – Standardized Training Package
ITP – ICAO Training Package
CTP – Compliant Training Package
PTP – Partner Training Package
The list of potential candidates includes but is not limited to: • training arms of civil aviation authorities, airlines, airports, and maintenance organizations;
• private training organizations recognized by the State where they are located; and • training centres involved in any specialized aviation-related safety training.
The mission of the TRAINAIR PLUS Programme is to:
• improve safety and efficiency of air transport; and
• establish, maintain, and monitor high standards of training and competency of aviation personnel on a worldwide basis and in a cost-effective manner.
The TRAINAIR PLUS Programme uses two tools:
• a methodology to develop standardized courses in civil aviation disciplines; and
• a sharing system of training packages.

BACKGROUND Launched in 2010, the TRAINAIR PLUS Programme:
• benefits from more than 25 years of experience and expertise from its predecessor programme, the TRAINAIR Programme, in the fields of training development and sharing, capacity building, as well as instructional delivery;
• provides valuable ICAO support to its Member States and the aviation industry through the implementation of high-quality standards in civil aviation training and capacity-building; and
• assists in implementing sustainable human resources development strategies, consistent with ICAO Assembly Resolution A38-12, Appendix D, Qualified and Competent Aviation Personnel.
TRAINAIR PLUS TODAY:
• Organizations in close to 70 Members States are working together to develop, deliver, and share competency-based training packages;
• TRAINAIR PLUS Members are recognized as the most compliant with ICAO provisions in addressing training development and delivery;
• TRAINAIR PLUS is driven by a self-sustaining mechanism and reward system for active members that develop training packages used by other TRAINAIR PLUS Members; and
• TRAINAIR PLUS Members have access to the TRAINAIR PLUS Electronic Management System (TPeMS), an effective and continuously available web-based suite of applications.
PARTAKE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ICAO-HARMONIZED COURSES
Members of the TRAINAIR PLUS Programme obtain expertise and technical support to develop and deliver training packages produced in accordance with a competency-based methodology, based on the ICAO Training Development Guide, Competency-based Methodology (Doc 9941), or an equivalent Instructional Systems Design (ISD) methodology. Each training package contains necessary instructional materials for trainees and instructors. Members can develop the following training packages:
What is a Standard Training Package (STP)?
What is an ICAO Training Package (ITP)?
An ITP is a training package produced by ICAO or a Regional Training Centre of Excel-lence (RTCE), in accordance with the ICAO Training Development Guide, Competency-based Methodology (Doc 9941) or an equivalent ISD methodology.
What is a Compliant Training Package (CTP)?
A CTP is a training package that complies with ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) and guidance material. It is presented as a fully documented and tested comprehensive package of training material that reflects:
• the current technological and operational requirements specific to a particular training topic;
• ICAO SARPs, Annexes and guidance material; and
• ICAO training objectives, complements existing ICAO training, and makes a significant contribution to aviation capacity building.
What is a Partner Training Package (PTP)?
A PTP is training material produced in partnership between ICAO and the training arm of a Corporate Member, industry partner, or educational institution, in accordance with the ICAO Training Development Guide, Competency-based Methodology (Doc 9941).
PTPs are presented as fully documented and tested comprehensive packages of training material that comply with ICAO SARPs and policies, help achieve ICAO training objectives, complement existing ICAO training, and make a significant contribution to aviation capacity building.
Why do training centres develop training packages?
Developing STPs, ITPs, CTPs or PTPs will allow training centres to:
• benefit from the recognition by ICAO as having implemented a competency-based training approach to course development;
• contribute and exchange training packages with other TPP Members, thereby considerably reducing their course fees; and
• generate revenues from the sharing of their training packages.
5
An STP is a competency-based training package produced in accordance with the ICAO Training Development Guide, Competency-based Methodology (Doc 9941). It is self-contained, material-dependent, and validated by the TRAINAIR PLUS Programme. The package includes instructor material, trainee material, as well as relevant documents on how the course was developed.
